A new family member

Yes, we are proud to announce the arrival of a new family member. Before you get too excited, no, no-one is pregnant (as far as daddy knows at least). Instead a little thing called Sniff arrived to our family a few days ago. Sniff is a little grey kitten who is just discovering and our exploring our big home (he spent the first day in mummy's and daddy's bedroom). Getting Sniff home was no easy task and included a drive that would normally have taken 10h but due to flat tires and other adventures lasted a lot longer... Morgan wasn't affected by this as he was having fun with the neighbours girls back home waiting for Sniff..

Morgan is of course extremely excited to have a "katten" at home and he can't wait to see "Sniff katten" when he's away (or sleeping for that matter). It's the beginning of a friendship that will hopefully last for many years to come.

For pictures of Sniff and Morgan check this out:

After a night and a day on the road Morgan finally get's to meet "katten"

 

It's very exciting for Morgan and he can't keep away from Sniff

 

He even has to show Sniff where to eat and drink

 

And when Sniff comes towards Morgan the excitement is at its highest!

 

 

The following morning there is no question about getting dressed before saying "good morning" to Sniff

 

Morgan is already getting good at caressing Sniff

 

Bye-bye from Sniff!

Halloween

Halloween is a much celebrated event in the US and this year we celebrated it to the max (some even too much). It all started on Saturday before Halloween when a startled Morgan woke up to see "Mamma katten" (Mom the cat). At least he recognized Mummy's outfit... Later during the day Morgan got to put on his own costume, a tiger (going up the food-chain from last years cow-suit). He then went on to his first ever Halloween party which was much fun.

But that was only a taster of what was to come. On actual Halloween there was first the parade at the daycare, which was done without Morgy as he found it boring to do the same thing as last year... In the end he participated a bit but after much convincing from mummy. But then, after daycare Morgan got to go "trick or treating" for the first time ever. It didn't take long for him to get a hang of it and after the third house he was hoarding candy like a professional. Fortunately all the candy come wrapped and Morgan who's not that familiar with candy just enjoyed collecting it and didn't eat a single piece!

The trick or treating was then followed by a night out for the adults but that horrific tale is better left untold...  ;)

At the daycare a lot of characters participate in the parade (except Morgan the tiger)

 

With the help of mummy Morgan the tiger finally makes his appearance

 

 

But with all these weird characters around he doesn't stray far from Mummy

 

In the evening all is forgotten and Morgan the tiger is ready!

 

Some weird people are picked up on the way....

 

The crowd grows and Morgan discovers that trick or treating is fun!

 

 

Even Lucy the dog joins in on the fun

 

As it gets darker and darker the crowd just gets weirder and weirder... but Morgan loved it!
